[EasingStyle] Does linear have more potential than the rest?
This isn't a direct scripting question, but I believe its within its realms. I just got into animating using the Moon Animation Editor and I am a complete noob as I animated using clerp (CFrame lerp, the method used by Strife creator, Fenrier). There are several easing styles, but does linear have the potential to be better than the rest? What do you guys personally use when you animate? Because I know people that use linear entirely. Are there any pros/cons in using linear or the others? Please teach me.
Thank you

Read this on the Developer hub: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/enum/EasingStyle
The EasingStyle determines the way in which TweenService tweening will act.
This basically means that easingstyle controls how the tweenservice behaves like. For example the tweenservice has easingstyle and easingdirection
EasingStyle is the way the tween moves like the effect here is a list of Easing Styles: Linear Sine Back Quad Quart Quint Bounce Elastic Exponential Circular Cubic
and EasingDirection is basically the way the tween moves in that direction for example. Is it in or out
How to create a tween all you have to do is say
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
2, -- Time
Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, -- EasingStyle
Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- EasingDirection
-1, -- RepeatCount (when less than zero the tween will loop indefinitely)
true, -- Reverses (tween will reverse once reaching it's goal)
0 -- DelayTime
)
local tween = TweenService:Create(tweenInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(0, 30, 0)})
-- This actually creates the tween and sets the position to the vector3 coordinates
tween:Play() -- this will play the tween
wait(10) -- this will wait 10 seconds
tween:Cancel() -- cancel the animation after 10 seconds
